I don't know where this he was a Turk thing came from, but The Turks didn't exist when St George was about, as St George lived 300bc and the Turks did not come about until a thousand years later. And even so, if he was a Turk, it would have made him Muslim. But he was Christian.

St George was actually a Roman Soldier born in Palestine, Israel!! He is the patron saint of Aragon, Catalonia, England, Ethiopia, Georgia, Greece, Lithuania, Palestine, Portugal, and Russia, as well as the cities of Amersfoort, Beirut, Fakiha, Bteghrine, Cáceres (Spain), Ferrara, Freiburg, Genoa, Ljubljana, Milan, Pomorie, Preston, Salford, Qormi, Rio de Janeiro, Lod, Barcelona, Moscow Tamworth and the Maltese island of Gozo, as well as a wide range of professions, organizations, and disease sufferers.

St Patrick, while the patron saint of Ireland was actually from.... Cumbria!!!

St Andrew was born in a city near the River Jordan.

You will be very lucky to find a Saint actually a patron of their own country. But its more of the ideals that Saint stood for that means countries take them on as a Patron Saint. St George is a Military Saint, and it a representation as a protector of England and a representation of our strength which was used extensively during the Crusades.

In London we had a parade, almost all the pubs in Mayfair were flying the Flags and every pub was RAMED.

I hope it carries on.
